What is FDA-Compliant Temperature Monitoring?
Compliance in the pharmaceutical cold chain requires more than just reading temperatures; it requires the secure storage and retrieval of data that proves those temperatures remained within specified limits. 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11 dictate the technical and procedural controls for electronic records to ensure they are as trustworthy as paper records.
Electronic Records
Ensuring data integrity through non-editable logs and secure storage that prevents unauthorized alteration or deletion of critical environmental data.
Audit Trails
Automated, date-and-time stamped records that track every user action, system change, and alarm acknowledgment for regulatory inspection.
System Validation
Documented evidence that our monitoring system performs according to predefined specifications and remains in a validated state throughout its lifecycle.
The Validation Playbook
Risk Assessment
We identify critical control points in your cold chain and define functional requirements to meet global GxP standards effectively.

Yes, TrueCold follows a strict GAMP 5 validation lifecycle. We provide a comprehensive Validation Package, including IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and reports. This documentation demonstrates that the software has been thoroughly tested and verified for use in highly regulated EU environments, reducing the validation burden on your internal teams.
What happens to data during a power or network outage? +
Our monitoring hardware features local data buffering and redundant battery backups. In the event of a connectivity loss, data is stored on the device and automatically synchronized with the secure cloud platform once service is restored. This ensures no gaps in your records and maintains the integrity of the audit trail during unexpected events.
